ZeMKI members Vertr. Prof. Dr. Christian Schwarzenegger and Dr. Erik Koenen co-organised with Astrid Blome (Institute for Newspaper Research Dortmund) and Niklas Venema (University of Leipzig) the symposium "Kommunikationsraum Straße - vom Kirchplatz zur Montagsdemonstration: Neue Perspektiven" (Communication Space Street - from Church Square to Monday Demonstration: New Perspectives), which took place in Dortmund from 27 to 28 April 2023.
The conference focuses on the questions of what new impulses can be given to the research of the communication space street as a place of social communication, as a space for political articulation and manifestations, of dissent and opposition, or also as a stage for the staging of domineering and/or state representation, and what new perspectives the research of the communication space street today offers on the previous concepts, interpretations and change of, for example, "symbolic" and "public" communication" or "representative publics".
